This fixes Element on older versions of Firefox by adding a Polyfill for Intl.Segmenter. The Polyfill is conditionally imported so it only inflates the initial bundle size by about 100 bytes. On browsers that need it, the polyfill is quite large at 317Kb.

Users on these browser will still see the 'unsupported browser' screen, but will be able to click through to use the app anyway. This keeps the Intl.Segmenter modernizr check but this would also happen due to #27674

Checklist

  • Tests written for new code (and old code if feasible).
  • New or updated public/exported symbols have accurate TSDoc documentation.
  • Linter and other CI checks pass.
  • Sign-off given on the changes (see CONTRIBUTING.md).
